[edit] Problem sentence

Taking off was considered too dangerous, so legendary stunt pilot Paul Mantz was asked to merely come in low, run his landing gear along the ground, then take off again, simulating a take-off.

How could the pilot "come in low" if he had not already taken off, which the author maintains was "too dangerous"? Perhaps it should be rephrased to indicate takeoffs were considered dangerous, and therefore minimized if that is what the author meant, rather than the implied contradiction in the current sentence. --Blainster 16:15, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Flight of the Phoenix" was a Skytruck, not a C-82

I read the novel "Flight of the Phoenix" last year (highly recommended!). The airplane in the novel was a Skytruck, not a C-82. I'll try to find an exact quote.--67.176.41.167 04:01, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
